The servings are huge and are enough for 2 persons or get a half serving for one. I got the Eoliano which included fresh cherry tomatoes, capers, olives, onions, anchovies and pepper flakes. The saltiness and juicy tomatoes was perfect for a hot day. Only 6 euro for half a serving. They also make some of the best granites in Sicily. Located facing the waterfront and beach, it's a great location to relax and have a great lunch for a very reasonable price.

Following the trail of my ancestry, we visited Salina last month. We took the bus 3km from Santa…read moreMarina to Lingua for Da Alfred's famous pane cunsato, a sort of flatbread similar to focaccia, but better. Sitting at the water's edge on a lovely Mediterranean day, it was difficult to choose from the many toppings, but simple is always best in Italian cooking. So, it was the most glorious tuna with ruby red tomatoes, amazing creamy mozzarella and fresh basil, all in large chunks. We ordered a half, which was plenty to share. The whole ones are huge. Outstanding! We finished lunch with their other famous delight -- the most wonderful, flavorful granita siciliana. This is the real thing. I had the venerable pistachio, my daughter the coffee. My only regret is that I'm not there right now!

Very good fish and pizza restaurant on the seaside promenade in Lingua. Prices are fairly standard…read morefor the island. The seafood salad starter is particularly good comprising mussels, clams, prawns and octopus. The spaghetti al eoliana was excellent. This was followed by baby squid with "malvesia", which is a local sweet wine (think dessert wine), and was excellent and something which I hadn't encountered before in Sicily. For lunch visits, the "pane cunzato", which is effectively a bread with different types of salad on top, is popular with locals. The restaurant also comprises a bar next door which serves excellent granitas on par with its more famous neighbor Alfredo.

Beside the quality of food and location, which you can get from any other spot on the island, the…read moreproblem was the poor level of service and dishonesty in pricing. We called ahead to put aside a fresh fish for four people. Despite having asked them 3 times to see it or to know how much the fish weighed, we received no info until it was already cooking and it was "too late". Basically - the staff was rude, non caring of service and cheeky with prices. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't suggest it to a friend. Hotel Isabel's terrace however, is a must-go.

Got different prices every time I went to the cashier, I had a chance to talk to the owner who's very calm and pleasant, I cannot say the same for some member of the staff, like the blond tall girl behind the bar. I'm confused and bored since this is probably the only place that plays music and serve drinks after a certain time at night. Nice location by the water and good vibes in the club but that feeling of being scammed won't make me come back.
